Can I ask why do you think this patch makes the code a bit more fragile?
It's just one step further removed. Before, the flag was trivially in sync
with the on queue status. After, the relationship is more indirect and
easier to break accidentally. Not that it's a major problem. Just not sure
what the benefit of the change is.
If you are worried about that, I can keep the flag, then the last two
patches will cleanup:
Before, the flag will be set and cleared frequently when each each bio
is handled.
After, the flag will only set then the first bio is throttled, and
it's cleared when last bio is dispatched.
Of course, if you think this cleanup is not necessary, I'll drop the
last two patches.
Thanks,
Kuai
By the way, I'll post these trivial patches separately.
Sounds great.
Thanks.
